The 26-year-old is currently suspended by the ECB but posted a video on Instagram over the weekend showing him bowling in the nets.

Speaking to Brisbane Heat on Monday, Hayden said: ‘The Poms are a rabble. I look down their list of players and I honestly don’t even know who half of these guys are.’

Responding to the legendary Aussie batsman, Stokes said on Twitter: ‘Hayden says he doesn’t know half our squad is… only 2 from the squad haven’t played at international level… he’s a cricket pundit yeah?’
